If you are not at the bus bay at Lyon Airport on time, we can wait for you but we may not be able to wait longer than 15 minutes after your bus’ scheduled departure time. After that, if we have a later service that day, you can jump on that for free is there is room. We leave empty seats on all our services for exactly this reason.

On Saturdays, when you come out of Arrivals, just find our rep and they will update you. On other days, please call the number on your eTicket.
